Chris Matthews Explores The Political Status Of ‘Yahoo’ Newt Gingrich

video
» 80 comments

Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich has evolved into both one of the most polarizing voices in the right wing of the country, taking a strong stand against replacing the Constitution with Sharia Law and attacking President Barack Obama‘s Kenyan roots, and one of the most respected, even being tossed around as a potential presidential candidate. For some, his political status is a given. For Chris Matthews, it’s a complete mystery.On tonight’s Hardball, Matthews earnestly wondered why it is Americans continue to listen to Gingrich at all. “Is there something in the style book about the status of Newt Gingrich,” he asked, where he is off-limits in ridicule? His guests, Media Matters’ Eric Boehlert and Salon‘s Joe Conason can’t find much in his record other than the fact that he is a, as Boehlert put it, “failed Speaker of the House from a decade ago” to justify his leverage.

Meanwhile, Matthews used Colin Powell as an example of what a reasonable Republican should sound like, and upon asking why more Republican’s don’t argue the way Powell does, Boehlert argued that there was “no adult supervision” in the party, allowing “media carnival” figures like Gingrich to have a say.

The discussion from today’s Hardball via MSNBC below:

    Last paragraph… Matthews uses Colin Powell as an example of how a republican should sound ?… Im thinking Matthews should really, really, really look for an example, somewhere, anywhere, make one up if you have to… of an example of how a democrat should sound… Its like the old saying… Take care of whats going on in your own backyard, before you hop the fence and decide what others should be doing…

    MSNBC Playbook Rule #1: Since Obama’s policies are such a disaster that they can’t be defended, you must find a political figure from the last century whom you can attack. No one will find this convincing, but it will fill up air time. And anything is better, from the MSNBC perspective, than discussing what is happening right now in America — which is a failed administration, a corrupt government and an incompetent commander-in-chief.

  • Paul Westlake

    Anyone who is willing to equate a group of radical terrorist, who have hijacked a global religion in their quest for power and glory, with their AMERICAN political opponents has either lost any tangible grasp on reality, or is the lowest form of political opportunist there is. If Gingrich is the genius so many of his supporters make him out to be, then he is a despicable human being and an American disgrace.

    Gingrich doesn’t even hold office right now. Just before taking over (-shudder-) as House Speaker, Nancy Pelosi called President Bush “an incompetent leader,” a “man with no judgement” and a “liar.” That is far lower than anything Gingrich has said. If he is dispicable or a disgrace, then Pelosi is the lowest form of slime on the face of the Earth.

    Would I say something like Gingrich said? No. Do I think it was a dumb thing to say? Yes. Let me – partially – correct myself, as I said that what Pelosi said was far, far worse. Maybe that was overstating things a little. However, Pelosi did call President Bush “an incompetent leader,” a “man with no judgement” and a “liar.” Her words. Very harsh, and certainly at least as bad as saying that Obama’s views are based on Kenyan, anti-colonial behavior.

    I think the concern about Sharia Law taking hold here is way premature. Still, if you go to You Tube and search Sharia Law in America, you’ll see why people are a little concerned about this long term. Again, I think the concern is very, very premature. It seems that in cities like Dearborn, MI the concern is a little more legit.

    How does that even come close to holding Obama and Al Qaeda in equal proportion? That’s how the video in this post begins, with that comparison, out of Gingrich’s mouth. Pelosi is worse, why, because she insulted your guy? Is that it? Calling Obama a liar is a daily sport around here but calling Bush a liar is WORSE than equating Obama with the people that attacked us on 9/11? How can you expect anyone but a blind partisan to take that seriously? I enjoy our tete-a-tetes from time to time but that’s a level of blind faith that I can’t take seriously.

    There is a certain sadness in seeing a man unaware that his ship has sailed. Waving at himself, as it were, from the dock as the ship becomes smaller and smaller. Discrediting Newt is the single positive accomplishment of the Tea Party. Other than the chuckles and chortles those crazy white people have given us!

  • Yoda002

    He is trying to get attention!! I don’t think he running, because he just has too much baggage. He is just trying to stir the pot!! Newt, has hurt his family values image with the way he treated his former wives and that wouldn’t sit very well with some of his peers. #1 rule keep your powder dry.

    I’ve had some good debates with Andy but when he says worrying about Sharia Law is “premature,” it may be better than worrying about it becoming a fact next week, but I still think it means he’s been drinking too much kool-aid. Worrying about Sharia Law ever is silly. Radical Islam is never going to muscle hundreds of years of American jurisprudence out of the way and become the law of the land, anywhere in America. The whole notion is preposterous. Will there occasionally be pockets of radicals from any number of religions who attempt to impose their brand of justice on their communities? Of course, and some of them will even be Muslims. But none of them will win. It never works for long, if at all. American justice is too well-defined, too deeply stitched into every facet of American civil life for it to ever be subject to the encroachments of anything remotely like Sharia Law. And I don’t think it serves any level of our national debate to even entertain the notion as a legitimate concern. It isn’t, and we should move on without the people who want to linger on those kinds of subjects, imo. Our nation doesn’t have the luxury of entertaining that level of superstition for much longer.

    (1) Gingrich made an analogous comparison, said two different fronts, and mentioned the Socialist agenda of Obama, Reid, and Pelosi on one front and radical Islam on another front. He didn’t say they were two equal evils. Look, I don’t agree with the way he presented his views, but let’s not try to claim he called Obama the same as an Al Qaeda terrorist when he didn’t.

    (2) GW Bush is not “my guy” as you stated. Hardly, actually. I brought up the Pelosi comments because they were disrespectful and repulsive things for someone about to become House Speaker to say. And yes, in my opinion, just as bad as anything Gingrich said.

    Nah, the shudder was pretty straightforward – the thought of Nancy Pelosi makes me shudder. She is a hypocrite, a huge recipient of special interest money, a “champion for the poor” who is among the richest members of Congress, a union supporter who owns a $25 million Napa vineyards and winery with her husband which is, of course, a non-union shop. She has received more money from the Hotel Employees and Restaurant Employees union than any other member of Congress, yet the resort hotel in Wine Country, which she also holds a large stake in, is also non-union. She was handed her seat in Congress by the Burton family over two decades ago, who endorsed her after she spent years licking their boots. She has never won a meaningful election in her lifetime. She tacitly supported all of the vitriol during the Bush years, even contributed to it, then got teary eyed when speaking about the current environment and criticism of the current administration.

    By putting those two concepts on co-equal “fronts,” that’s precisely what he did and what he intended to do, and exactly how his audience understood it, i.e., they both have the potential to destroy America with equal totality. Good freaking grief!

    Repulsive? Claiming Obama is lying about his very identity, impugning his character as some sleeper agent for authoritarian “Statism,” isn’t repulsive, but calling someone a liar, when, in fact, they provably ARE a liar, is? I’m sorry, but we’re back to double-standard definitions of what ad hominem means again – question conservative statements and actions, ad hominem; impugn liberal character, A-OK! I’m not buying it.

    Andy Lamb said:

    Sure, she and her Democratic criminal gang members are the only politicians in America who could be safely described as “hypocrites.” All the conservatives are clean as a whistle. Jack Abramoff? Who? I’ll just go ahead and take your word for everything you said about her… so what? The magnitude of the layers between the Congressional GOP and the once and future private sector payouts they enjoy for doing the bidding of the corporate elite is staggering, but let’s make Pelosi the poster child for government corruption. The obvious solution to all these types of corruption is full public financing of all federal elections, but that would be creeping Statism, or some other such spooky buzzword combination. I am thoroughly unmoved by any of your arguments, or your faux indignation. And I’m tired of selective indignation from people who have no interest in seeing the process for what it is and offering up practical solutions that actually make sense.

    1) people on the right have false names, but that doed not matter
    2) people hide under their beds for fear of the red scare you keep squakin about

    It’s a long, slow process. Kind of in limbo a bit as I gather responses to the poll and tweak specifics. I hope to present the plan to heavy duty investors within a couple months.

    ps
    Have to admit envy
    You have job close to what I wanted to do (1978)
    started as a DJ

  • http://twitter.com/pewestlake Paul Westlake

    I’ve worked with some very talented radio people, much more talented DJs than I could ever be. So I know a little how you feel. Like any profession, it has its ups and downs. But one thing I know – my media savvy gives me a pretty nice edge in some of these debates. ;-)

    And trust me, we AV technicians have a considerable amount of envy for networkers and engineers. ;-)

    I think the concern about Sharia Law taking hold here is way premature. Still, if you go to You Tube and search Sharia Law in America, you’ll see why people are a little concerned about this long term. Again, I think the concern is very, very premature. It seems that in cities like Dearborn, MI the concern is a little more legit.

    We’ve had 200+ years of Christians wanting to impose their moral system on us and so far it hasn’t happened. Even if some Muslims wanted that there isn’t a chance in hell that could happen. It’s a ridiculous talking point.

    Are we sharia compliant or aren’t we?

    Gingrich doesn’t even hold office right now. Just before taking over (-shudder-) as House Speaker, Nancy Pelosi called President Bush “an incompetent leader,” a “man with no judgement” and a “liar.” That is far lower than anything Gingrich has said. If he is dispicable or a disgrace, then Pelosi is the lowest form of slime on the face of the Earth.

    AMEN to that!!!!!
